The DAP-6-armed Mojave engaged multiple ground targets in seven strafing runs across two separate sorties on April 13, according to a press release and accompanying video, seen below, that General Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) put out today. At one point in the video, a Chevy pickup truck is seen exploding. The 7.62x51mm rounds that a #Minigun fires are not explosive, but the truck could've been rigged with explosives or fuel inside of it could have ignited.

Pay to stay: Florida inmates charged for prison cells long after incarceration
It's a common saying: You do the crime, you do the time. But when people are released from prison, freedom is fragmented. It marks the start of new hardships, impacting families and communities.Kylie McGivern (ABC Action News Tampa Bay (WFTS))

to me, #biometric unlocking, is unsafe, you see a lot of unauthorised unlocking from restrained, sleeping, dead, or drunken people from either face or fingerprint to unlock a device.
it was established a few years ago that law enforcement in the usa do not need a warrant for biometric unlocking, but need warrant if a password is enabled, to unlock a device.
